Neuromotor rehabilitation in Parkinsonian syndromes: outcomes and disability after hip fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with Parkinsonian syndromes, including Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP), are at increased risk of disability following hip fracture. Limited data are available on their functional recovery after inpatient rehabilitation. This study aimed to compare rehabilitation outcomes in patients with parkinsonism versus non-parkinsonian controls after hip fracture surgery and to identify clinical predictors of worse recovery within the parkinsonian group.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted on 60 patients with parkinsonism (45 PD, 15 AP) and 60 age- and sex-matched non-parkinsonian controls undergoing inpatient rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery. Functional status was assessed at admission and discharge using the Modified Barthel
